• Download and install Docker Desktop for Windows

• Start Docker Desktop, look up an image called zatosource/zato-3.3-quickstart and pull it to your system

• Once the image is pulled, click "play" to start a new container and fill out the settings:
  • The container's name can be "zato"
  • Map port 17010 to 17010
  • Map port 8183 to 8183
  • Add a new environment variable called "Zato_Password". Provide any value and it will become the password to your environment.

• Click "Run", wait for the container to start and log in to your Dashboard at http://localhost:8183
  • Dashboard: http://localhost:8183
  • Username: admin
  • Password: The one that you set above

• That concludes the process - you can refer to the main documentation index now.

Note: These are advanced installation instructions that should be used only if you've been advised to do so by Zato support.

Otherwise, use Docker Quickstart which will start a fully working environment for you in 5 minutes, and then you'll be able to focus on your actual integration and automation work.

Repeat: Use Docker Quickstart unless Zato support specifically advised that you use the instructions below.

• Click here to download the installer

• Move the downloaded file to a directory whose name is shorter than 50 characters, such as C:\Zato

• Unpack the .zip archive and run the "install.bat" file found inside

• Click "Install" to begin the installation process

Starting Zato

• The installer creates "Start Zato" shortcuts on your desktop and in the Start menu

• Clicking a shortcut starts Zato in a new window. To stop it, close the window

Logging in to Zato Dashboard

• Click "Show configuration" in the Start menu to show your environment's configuration. Each environment will use automatically generated random passwords.

• Copy the value of the "dashboard_password" key from the configuration

• Make sure that Zato is started and visit http://localhost:8183. Log in using the username of "admin" and the password that you copied.
